The Another World
Website offers downloads of an updated edition of Another World, including a
trial version. The game has been translated into English, but not all of the
website has been run through the old Babel Fish yet, so I'm just going to post
the English explanation of all this sent along by Phil:

Eric Chahi's
classic "Another World" (a.k.a "Out of This World"), released by Delphine back
in 1991 has been enhanced and re-released for modern Windows PCs in shareware
form!

The "Collector's Edition" of Another World includes all-new support for
high-resolution high-colour graphics, and features enhanced background artwork
to match. These new features are optional -- for the full nostalgia trip, the
game can also look exactly like it did back in the day if you so wish.

For a 25MB download you can access the first (and unfortunately *very* short)
section of the game as a demo, and then purchase a key online to unlock the full
content for only 7 euros (not trying to sound like an advertisement here, but
that's a good price).

The bulk of the web site has not yet been translated to English, so you could
conceivably want to wait for that to happen before posting the news, but the
game is available right now, and does include localisation for a whole host of
languages, so if you just want to play there's no need to wait. I say post the
news now, and then post it again once the web site is translated :)

The Speed Demo linked here pretty much proves that, since he does in effect cover over 90% of the game without using any hacks or exploits. €7 = 17 minutes of game = 40 cents a minute.

It's a puzzle game!!! That's like reading a walkthrough to The Secret of Monkey Island, and then complaining that you could complete the game too quickly/easily.

Your first time through Another World should take you a good few hours.

Don't watch a speed-run for this game, people. You'll just spoil it.

That depends on your definition of joy. If getting kicked in the nuts over and over and over and over while being subjected to a ridiculous plot is your definition of joy, then HoD is an absolute joy to play.

Another World is tolerable, because it's old - but let's leave HoD in the crapper where it belongs.

Oh my god. I feel deep deep pity for your inability to appreciate such a wonderful game as Heart of Darkness. That's absolutely tragic.
